a/n: my first fanfic…sorry if I made anyone too OOC. -.-"
and there's bound to be some Kagome bashing in there somewhere…. :DD
disclaimer: okay, so I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters in it cause if I did, Sango wouldn't have married Miroku and have kids with him cause he would have died in some horrible fire after she caught him banging some whore. AND Kagome wouldn't have married Inuyasha because she would have also died in the same fire because she was the whore. (Sorry but I had to let that out.)
Chapter one: You Need a Wife
"You need a wife"
It was the most ridiculous piece of advice and Sesshomaru Taishou barely raised and eyebrow before responding, "You're fired." "You can't fire me." Inuyasha scoffed. "I'm too valuable…your CFO and your half brother." Sesshomaru slightly growled at that statement as Inuyasha slid a fax across Sesshomaru's desk. "And speaking as both, I see no other way. Two other corporations are chomping at the bit for the deal, and both CEOs have wives. It looks to me like Tōtōsai Miyazaki wants and honest, good old-fashioned family man to take care of his company, so if you're so hell bent on owning the Miyazaki Sweets Candy Company, you'd better consider producing a Mrs. Sesshomaru Taishou ASAP."
Swiveling around in his chair, Sesshomaru turned to face the window. From his office on the top 38th floor, he stared out across the city of Tokyo. He's mind racing to find another solution to the problems plaguing what should have been an easy purchase. He wanted that candy company. Hell, he wanted every company that posed a challenge to him. He was Sesshomaru Taishou, and he destroyed anything that came in between him and what he wanted. Acquisitions seem to fill a hole in him, even it the feeling was only temporary.
Inuyasha was right, though. Acquiring Miyazaki Sweets was going to take more than quick thinking, clever strategies.
Actually, Miyazaki had invited each and every potential buyer to his main headquarters in Kyoto for the weekend. It was a chance for each man to see how the company was run, tour the plant, and get to know each other. Sesshomaru would need a wife with him there if he wanted the extra push to get the deal.
"I spoke with Naraku this morning," Inuyasha said breaking Sesshomaru train of thought.
Sesshomaru inhaled sharply. Naraku Onigumo was a ruthless business ma. He also wanted to own the Miyazaki Sweets, and would be willing to pay top dollar for the honor. Naraku's own candy company was a longtime rival to Miyazaki Sweets and he was looking to eliminate the completion. But the man was three times divorced and a notorious player. Sesshomaru had heard that Miyazaki wouldn't even review a bid from Naraku, no matter how high the price was. Sesshomaru assumed it was because of his marital reputation.
Inuyasha cleared his throat, "He's willing to play a hefty premium to by Miyazaki Sweets from you if you get it from Miyazaki."
Sesshomaru grounded his teeth. What the hell was he considering anyway? Buying and selling. It was a standard business man's M.O. But in this case, taking a man's life's work and selling it to the highest bidder -to someone who only wanted to dissolve the company- well for some reason, this time Sesshomaru wasn't content with that.
Sesshomaru clawed at his desk. Why would any man choose to settle down, get married and have children was beyond him. All investment and no return. Family was something Sesshomaru did not want to get sucked into. But the need to conquer the challenge that imposed itself in front of him was quickly out weighing the thought before hand away. He had little options in this matter. If a wife was what it was going to take to win; Sesshomaru would sure as hell do it.
He leaned back in this chair. "So the question now becomes who?" he said.
"How about Kagome?" Inuyasha prompted without much thought.
"I'm serious." Sesshomaru grunted. Practically everyone in the building knew that Kagome Higurashi was the office slut. Probably given every guy in the office at least a blowjob. Even both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru couldn't deny that they had her a couple of times.
"Kagura?"
"Too aggressive."
"This woman can't be anyone I see socially. I don't want people to think marriage is ever and option for me. I need a simple woman, sweet, elegantly dressed, educate, but not snobbish. No party girls." he added staring back out the window.
"If it's the simple and shy girls you want then why not look in your mail room?"
Sesshomaru turned to face Inuyasha quickly wondering what he was talking about.
"What's in my mail room?"
"My secretary told me that the hardworking ladies downstairs run a sort of Sesshomaru fanclub. Most of them have quiet a crush on you, apparently." With a snort he added. "Well, except for one."
"Oh really? And who does your secretary say this on is?" Sesshomaru asked with a slight hint of curiosity.
"Some woman named Sango." Inuyasha said.
A brunette with matching dark brown eyes and a soft mouth snaked through Sesshomaru mind. Polite and shy, the pretty lady who brought him his mail everyday never tried to catch his eye like most of the women in the office. She wore frumpy, conservative clothes to hide whatever she felt like she had to hide, but Sesshomaru had always a sneaking suspicion that what she was hiding was worth a look.
But he never knew. The woman had a demeanor that had home and hearth written all over it. And he stayed a million miles away from women like that.
"You know," Inuyasha began; a light glowed in his eyes that made Sesshomaru nervous. "She'd be perfect…brother."
"Perfect for what?" growled Sesshomaru.
"To play the role of your wife. I hear she's sweet and simple and smart. And she's definitely not someone you see socially." Inuyasha grinned. "There's also no chance of her wanting more from you because, hey, according to the office scuttle, she doesn't even like you at all." He chucked. "Damn, I never thought I'd live to see the day when a woman could resist the great Sesshomaru Taishou. I think I might be in love with this girl myself!" Inuyasha said before cracking up.
A scowl found its way to Sesshomaru face. "I'll tell you what, brother. How about if I give you two minutes to get back to work before I fire you?"
Inuyasha stood up, still trying to stifle a couple of laughs, and headed for the door. "All right, all right. It was just a suggestion. I guess you don't need my help. You've always done just fine with the ladies on your own.
"Just go." Sesshomaru muttered as the door closed behind him.
He leaned back into his chair. The idea to enlist a woman who didn't like him lingered. No strings attached, no calls afterwards, strictly business. That would make things neat a tidy when it was time for "divorce" wouldn't it?
His gaze flickered to the Miyazaki files that lay open on his desk. Challenges made a great life even better, if his first challenge was to persuade the head of Miyazaki Sweets to sell the company to him, why not enlist the help of a second challenge to do it? With a satisfied, confident smirk, Sesshomaru flipped through the file as he waited the arrival of his daily mail with uncharacteristic anticipation.
a/n: well yea…hope I didn't make anyone too OOC… -.-
